CROSS-REFERENCE

This application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 17/149,557 filed Jan. 14, 2021, which claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 63/080,639 filed Sep. 18, 2020, the contents of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.

BACKGROUND

Of the approximately 150,000 human deaths per day, approximately two-thirds are due to age-related causes. Aging leads to functional deterioration and progressive decline across multiple tissues, organs, and systems, including the immune system, that arise from the progressive accumulation of cellular and tissue damage. This damage may be attributed, in part, to dysfunction or disruption in one or more signaling pathways. Accordingly, there remains an unmet need for compositions and methods that stop, slow, or reverse these dysfunctions or disruptions and are capable of thereby treating aging-related disorders and/or reducing symptoms of aging.

SUMMARY

The present invention addresses this need. Accordingly, the present disclosure relates to compositions and methods for increasing lifespan, for preventing or treating a disease including an aging-related disorder, for reducing a symptom of aging, and/or boosting an immune system in a mammal. The present disclosure additionally relates to compositions and methods for improving effectiveness of a vaccine in a mammal.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The present disclosure relates to compositions and methods for increasing lifespan, for preventing or treating a disease including an aging-related disorder, for reducing a symptom of aging, and/or boosting an immune system in a mammal. The present disclosure additionally relates to compositions and methods for improving effectiveness of a vaccine in a mammal.

1. Compounds and Compositions

The methods of the present disclosure comprise administering to a mammal a therapeutically effective amount of an active ingredient that is disulfiram and a potentiating ingredient that is tert-Butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) or comprise contacting a cell (in vivo, in vitro, or ex vivo) with an active ingredient that is disulfiram and a potentiating ingredient that is TBHQ.

Disulfiram is a specific inhibitor of an aldehyde-dehydrogenase (ALDH1). Disulfiram was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in 1951 for alcohol aversion therapy after researchers observed that it induced the effects of a hangover after alcohol consumption. Disulfiram blocks the major metabolic reaction that converts alcohol into acetaldehyde. Disulfiram inhibits pyroptosis of a cell by inhibition of gasdermin D.

As used herein, the term disulfiram includes disulfiram itself and any of its metabolites and/or derivatives. Examples of metabolites include diethyldithiocarbamate, diethyl-amine, and carbon disulfide.

In each aspect and embodiment of the present disclosure, the active agent is disulfiram and the potentiating ingredient is TBHQ. TBHQ has the following chemical identifiers: CAS 1948-33-0, DrugBank DB07726, MedChem HY-100489, and SelleckChem 54990. TBHQ protects against Doxorubicin (DOX)-induced cardiotoxicity through activation of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NrF2). TBHQ is also an ERK activator, and rescues Dehydrocorydaline (DHC)-induced cell proliferation inhibition in melanoma.

TBHQ is generally recognized as safe (GRAS; e.g., by the FDA), is listed in the FDA inactive ingredient database (IID (see, the World Wide Web at accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cder/iig/index.cfm), and/or is included in the FDA's Substances Added to Food list (see, the World Wide Web at cfsanappsexternal.fda.gov/scripts/fdcc/?set=FoodSubstances and the regulations set forth in 21 CFR 73, 74, 172, 173, 181, 182, and 184, the contents of each of which is incorporated by reference in its entirety).

As used herein, the term TBHQ includes TBHQ itself and any of its metabolites, derivatives, and/or precursors. Examples of TBHQ metabolites include TBHQ-glucuronide and TBHQ-sulfate. An example of a TBHQ precursor is butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA).

A composition of the present disclosure comprises an active agent that is disulfiram and a potentiating ingredient that is TBHQ. A plurality of compositions of the present disclosure may comprise a first composition comprising an active agent that is disulfiram and a second composition comprising a potentiating ingredient that is TBHQ.

The present disclosure provides methods that comprise administering a therapeutically effective amount of an active agent that is disulfiram and a potentiating ingredient that is TBHQ, contacting a cell or immune cell with an active agent that is disulfiram and a potentiating ingredient that is TBHQ, a composition comprising an active agent that is disulfiram and a potentiating ingredient that is TBHQ, and a plurality of compositions comprising a first composition comprising an active agent that is disulfiram and a second composition comprising a potentiating ingredient that is TBHQ.

A potentiating ingredient, i.e., TBHQ, enhances, increases, and/or improves the desirable activity of the active ingredient, i.e., disulfiram. As a non-limiting example, the potentiating ingredient enhances pyroptosis activity of disulfiram.

The potentiating ingredient, i.e., TBHQ, used in the present disclosure enhances, increases, and/or improves the effectiveness and/or desirable activity of the active ingredient, i.e., disulfiram. Thus, a composition comprising disulfiram alone will be less effective, for example, than a composition comprising disulfiram and its potentiating ingredient TBHQ. Similarly, a method in which disulfiram is administered alone is less effective than a method in which disulfiram is administered with TBHQ (either as a single composition or as distinct compositions that are administered contemporaneously or sequentially). In various embodiments, the potentiating ingredient, as disclosed herein, enhances disulfiram's ability to inhibit pyroptosis. In some embodiments, the enhanced, increased, and/or improved effectiveness and/or activity of the active agent, i.e., disulfiram, may be any amount between about 1.1-fold and about 3-fold, e.g., about 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 2, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, or 3-fold, and any fold therebetween. In embodiments, the enhanced, increased, and/or improved effectiveness and/or activity of the active agent, i.e., disulfiram, may be any amount between about 3-fold and about 5-fold, e.g., about 3, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 4, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7, 4.8, 4.9, or 5-fold, and any fold therebetween. The enhanced, increased, and/or improved effectiveness and/or activity of the active agent, i.e., disulfiram, may be any amount between about 5-fold and about 15-fold. As examples, the effectiveness may be increased about 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5, 8, 8.5, 9, 9.5, 10, 10.5, 11, 11.5, 12, 12.5, 13, 13.5, 14, 14.5, or 15-fold, and any fold therebetween. In some embodiments, the enhanced, increased and/or improved effectiveness and/or activity of the active agent, i.e., disulfiram, is greater than about 15-fold. The increased and/or improved effectiveness may be greater than about 1%, e.g., about 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, or about 100%, and any percentage therebetween.

An enhanced, increased, and/or improved effectiveness and/or activity of the active agent, i.e., disulfiram, may be determined by any assay, phenotype, marker, or indicator demonstrating a desired outcome from a treatment or administration of a composition. As examples, effectiveness and/or activity may be shown as a reduction in markers/indicators of an aging cell, an increase in markers/indicators of a healthy cell, an extension of the active life of a cell, a reduction in apoptosis, increased longevity of a mammal, a reduction in the predicted biological age of a cell, increased titer of antibodies in response to a vaccine, inhibition of pyroptosis in an in vitro assay, an immune profile, and phenotypic changes in a cell that report health and/or activity. Increased and/or improved effectiveness may be objective (e.g., quantifiable) or subjective (e.g., qualifiable).

Because the potentiating ingredient, i.e., TBHQ, enhances, increases, and/or improve disulfiram's effectiveness and/or activity (e.g., in pyroptosis inhibition), lower doses of disulfiram may be administered to a mammal while still providing a desired outcome. This lower dose may minimize adverse effects resulting from disulfiram administration.

In certain embodiments, disulfiram is administered at a daily dosage of about 5 mg to about 500 mg per day. For example, disulfiram is administered at a total daily dosage of about 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 45, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100, 125, 150, 175, 200, 225, 250, 275, 300, 325, 350, 375, 400, 425, 450, 475, or 500 mg per day, and any total dosage therebetween. As examples, the daily dosage may be 5-10 mg, 10-15 mg, 15-20 mg, 20-25 mg, 25-30 mg, 30-35 mg, 35-40 mg, 40-45 mg, 45-50 mg, 50-55 mg, 55-60 mg, 60-65 mg, 65-70 mg, 70-75 mg, 75-80 mg, 80-85 mg, 85-90 mg, 90-95 mg, 95-100 mg, 100-125 mg, 125-150 mg, 150-175 mg, 175-200 mg, 200-225 mg, 225-250 mg, 250-275 mg, 275-300 mg, 300-325 mg, 325-350 mg, 350-375 mg, 375-400 mg, 400-425 mg, 425-450 mg, 450-475 mg, or 475-500 mg. The disulfiram may be administered 1×, 2×, or 3× per day to achieve the daily dosage. Thus, for a daily dose of 5 mg with a once per day administration, only a single administration of 5 mg will be given; for a daily dose of 5 mg with a twice per day administration, two administrations of about 2.5 mg will be given; and for a daily dose of 5 mg with a thrice per day administration, three administrations of about 1.7 mg will be given. Similarly, for a daily dose of 500 mg with a once per day administration, only a single administration of 500 mg will be given; for a daily dose of 500 mg with a twice per day administration, two administrations of about 250 mg will be given; and for a daily dose of 500 mg with a thrice per day administration, three administrations of about 170 mg will be given. The potentiating ingredient, i.e., TBHQ, may be administered 1×, 2×, or 3× per day.

In certain embodiments, the potentiating ingredient, i.e., TBHQ, and the disulfiram are administered in two separate formulations. In certain embodiments, the TBHQ and the disulfiram are administered in a single formulation.

In certain embodiments, the potentiating ingredient, i.e., TBHQ, is administered at a ratio of about 1:1 to about 1:3000 moles of TBHQ to disulfiram. The TBHQ may be administered at a ratio of about 1:1, 1:1.01, 1:1.02, 1:1.03, 1:1.04, 1:1.05, 1:1.06, 1:1.07, 1:1.08, 1:1.09, 1:1.1, 1:1.11, 1:1.12, 1:1.13, 1:1.14, 1:1.15, 1:1.16, 1:1.17, 1:1.18, 1:1.19, 1:1.2, 1:1.21, 1:1.22, 1:1.23, 1:1.24, 1:1.25, 1:1.26, 1:1.27, 1:1.28, 1:1.29, or 1:1.3 moles TBHQ per mole of disulfiram.

HY-B0143 Niacin Autophagy; Autophagy; Niacin (Vitamin B3) is a water-soluble vitamin 59-67-6 Endogenous Metabolic and is part of the vitamin B group. Metabolite Enzyme/Protease Target: Others Niacin (also known as vitamin B3 and nicotinic acid) is an organic compound with the formula C6H5NO2 and, depending on the definition used, one of the 20 to 80 essential human nutrients. Not enough niacin in the diet can cause nausea, skin and mouth lesions, anemia, headaches, and tiredness. Chronic Niacin deficiency leads to a disease called pellagra. The lack of niacin may also be observed in pandemic deficiency disease which is caused by a lack of five crucial vitamins: niacin, vitamin C, thiamin, vitamin D and vitamin A, and is usually found in areas of widespread poverty and malnutrition. Niacin has been used for over 50 years to increase levels of HDL in the blood and has been found to decrease the risk of cardiovascular events modestly in a number of controlled human trials. Niacin cannot be directly converted to nicotinamide, but both compounds could be converted to and are precursors of NAD and NADP in vivo. Nicotinic acid, nicotinamide, and tryptophan (via quinoline acid) are co-factors for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP). NAD converts to NADP by phosphorylation in the presence of the enzyme NAD+ kinase. NADP and NAD are coenzyme for many dehydrogenases, participating in many hydrogen transfer processes. NAD is important in catabolism of fat, carbohydrate, protein, and alcohol, as well as cell signaling and DNA repair, and NADP mostly in anabolism reactions such as fatty acid and cholesterol synthesis. High energy requirements (brain) or high turnover rate (gut, skin) organs are usually the most susceptible to their deficiency.

In embodiments, the Coronavirus is Sars-CoV-2.

In embodiments, when the infectious agent affects the mammal's respiratory system or is transmitted via the mammal's respiratory system and the route of administration is by inhalation.

In embodiments, the route of administration is oral or by inhalation.

In some cases, the mammal has a healthy immune system. In other cases, the mammal has an unhealthy immune system, dysfunctional immune system, and/or weakened immune system.

In embodiments, the term dysfunctional immune system may be an overactive immune system, e.g., resulting in a cytokine storm; such overactive immune systems are observed in certain viral infections, e.g., in some severe coronavirus patients. In various embodiments, “boosting the immune system”, relates to “boosting” a proper (e.g., non-pathological) immune response. That is, minimizing an overactive immune response.

In embodiments, the mammal is nearing or has reached halfway to its expected lifespan for the mammal's species, size, sex, age, and/or health status. In embodiments, the aged mammal has reached an age that is at least 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, or 100% of its expected lifespan for the mammal's species, size, sex, age, and/or health status.

Of course, any mammal may benefit from a boost in the immune system. Thus, the compositions and methods for boosting the immune system can be used with aged and with non-aged mammals.

In embodiments, the route of administration is oral, by injection, inhalation, or topical. The administration route may comprise intravenous injection or infusion, intraperitoneal injection, intramuscular injection, or subcutaneous injection.

In embodiments, one composition comprising the active agent that is disulfiram is administered and a second composition comprising the potentiating ingredient that is TBHQ. In other embodiments, one composition comprising both disulfiram and TBHQ is administered. In some embodiments, one or more additional ingredients, e.g., of Table 1, is included in the composition with disulfiram and TBHQ, in the composition with disulfiram, in the composition with TBHQ, or in a composition without disulfiram or TBHQ.

In methods for boosting the immune system in a mammal, the one or more additional ingredients may be a metal (e.g., copper and zinc).

Improving a Vaccine Response

The present disclosure also provides a method for improving effectiveness of a vaccine in a mammal in need thereof. The method comprises administering a therapeutically effective amount of disulfiram as active agent and TBHQ as potentiating ingredient, with or without one or more of the additional ingredients listed in Table 1. Here, the mammal may contemporaneously and/or subsequently be administered a vaccine.

In embodiments, disulfiram and TBHQ (with or without one or more additional ingredients, e.g., of Table 1) and the vaccine are administered contemporaneously. In embodiments, the vaccine is administered subsequent to administering disulfiram and TBHQ, with or without one or more additional ingredients.

In embodiments, a therapeutically effective amount of disulfiram and TBHQ (with or without the one or more of the additional ingredients) boosts the immune system in the mammal. In embodiments, boosting the immune system increases an immune response against a component contained in the vaccine. In embodiments, the increased immune response promotes future immunity against the component contained in the vaccine.

It has been reported in the art that aged mammals respond less strongly to vaccines than mammal who are less aged. Accordingly, methods for improving effectiveness of a vaccine in an aged mammal are needed.

In embodiments, an aged mammal is nearing or has reached halfway to its expected lifespan for the mammal's species, size, sex, age, and/or health status. In embodiments, the aged mammal has reached an age that is at least 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, or 100% of its expected lifespan for the mammal's species, size, sex, age, and/or health status.

Influenza is problematic in older adults with increased risk for serious complications and hospitalization. In addition, approximately 90% of flu-related deaths occur in this population, with influenza and pneumonia being the eighth leading cause of death among persons over 65 years of age in the United States. Even when death is avoided, older adults have an increased risk for secondary complications and morbidities from flu infection. Depending on how successful the WHO predicts the influenza strains causing seasonal epidemics, the produced vaccines show efficacy rates between 60% and 90%. However, vaccine effectiveness in adults aged 65 and older is usually significantly lower, ranging from an average of 28% protection against fat al and nonfat al complications (with large dispersion), 39% protection against typical influenza-like illness, and 49% protection against disease with confirmed virus infection. Influenza vaccine effectiveness is a significant problem in elderly as compared to young individuals and is associated with high rates of complicated illness including pneumonia, heart attacks, and strokes in the >65-year-old population.

Furthermore, the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) has had devastating effects on the aged and those with pre-existing health conditions. A mammal would particularly benefit from a composition of the present disclosure and methods of administering the same to improve effectiveness of a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine.

Of course, mammals who are not aged may benefit from improved effectiveness of a vaccine. Thus, the compositions and methods for improving effectiveness of a vaccine can be used with non-aged mammals.

In some cases, the mammal has an unhealthy immune system, dysfunctional immune system, and/or weakened immune system. In other cases, the mammal has a healthy immune system.

In embodiments, the term dysfunctional immune system may be an overactive immune system, e.g., resulting in a cytokine storm; such overactive immune systems are observed in certain viral infections, e.g., in some severe coronavirus patients. In various embodiments, “improving a vaccine response”, relates to “improving” a proper (e.g., non-pathological) immune response to a vaccine and, later, when a subject is contacted with an infectious agent. That is, minimizing an overactive immune response and promoting a proper immune response.

In embodiments, the increased immune response promotes future immunity against the component contained in the vaccine. In embodiments, the component contained in the vaccine is an antigen obtained from, related to, homologous to, or expressed by an infectious agent.

In embodiments, the vaccine is a Chickenpox vaccine, Coronavirus vaccine, Diphtheria vaccine, Hepatitis A vaccine, Hepatitis B vaccine, Haemophilus influenzae type b vaccine, Human Immunovirus (HIV) vaccine, Human papillomavirus vaccine, influenza vaccine, Japanese encephalitis vaccine, Measles, mumps, or rubella (including MMR combined vaccine) vaccine, Meningococcal disease vaccine, Pneumococcal disease vaccine, Polio vaccine, Rabies vaccine, Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine, Rotavirus vaccine, Shingles vaccine, Smallpox vaccine, Tetanus vaccine, Varicella virus vaccine, Whooping cough (part of the DTaP combined vaccine) vaccine, or Yellow fever vaccine. In embodiments, the vaccine is a coronavirus vaccine, e.g., directed against Sars-CoV-2.

In embodiments, disulfiram and TBHQ (with or without one or more of the additional ingredients) is administered orally, by injection, by inhalation, or topically. In embodiments, the vaccine is administered orally, by injection, by inhalation, or topically. In embodiments, the injection is intravenous injection or infusion, intraperitoneal injection, intramuscular injection, or subcutaneous injection.

In embodiments, one composition comprising disulfiram as active agent is administered and a second composition comprising TBHQ as potentiating ingredient is administered. Here, a third composition comprising on or more additional ingredients, e.g., of Table 1, is administrated. In other embodiments, one composition comprising both disulfiram and TBHQ (with or without the one or more additional ingredients) is administered.

In methods for improving effectiveness of a vaccine, the one or more additional ingredients may be a metal (e.g., copper and zinc).

2. Reducing the Predicted Age of Cell

An aspect of the present disclosure is a method for reducing a predicted biological age of a cell. The method comprises contacting the cell with a therapeutically effective amount of the active agent disulfiram and the potentiating ingredient TBHQ, with or without one or more additional ingredients listed in Table 1.

As shown in Example 2, cells from older donors treated with disulfiram exhibited phenotypes similar to younger donors. For instance, disulfiram significantly reduced several proinflammatory cytokines and significantly reduced the percentage of mitochondria with reticular shape. In addition, T cells from older donors treated with disulfiram exhibited a younger phenotype as compared to untreated controls.

In embodiments, the cell is in vitro, ex vivo, or in vivo.

In methods for reducing a predicted biological age of a cell, the one or more additional ingredients may be a metal (e.g., copper and zinc).

Assays and formulations used in methods for reducing a predicted biological age of a cell may be related to those described in US20190228840, the entire contents of which is incorporated by reference its entirety.

Aging-Related Disorders

The herein-disclosed compositions and methods treat, prevent, reduce the severity of, and/or delay the onset of various aging-related disorders, e.g., chronic diseases and disabilities/conditions of aging. Illustrative aging-related disorders include actinic keratosis, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), alopecia, Alzheimer's disease, arthritis, atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), bone atrophy, cachexia, cancer (e.g., a skin cancer including basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC)), cardiomyopathy, cataracts, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), constipation, decrease in overall energy, decrease in visual acuity, delirium, dementia, depression, dermal atrophy (thinning of the skin), diminished peripheral vision, dry eye, greater risk of heat stroke or hypothermia, hearing loss, hypertension, increased susceptibility to infection (including influenza and pneumonia), lentigines (aging spots), memory loss, metabolic syndrome, muscle atrophy (e.g., Sarcopenia and myopenia), frailty, muscle repair or rejuvenation deficiency, muscular dystrophy, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, periodontitis, photoaging, reduced metabolism (including increased risk for obesity), reduced reflexes and coordination including difficulty with balance, respiratory disease (including acute lung injury (ALI) and/or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)), rheumatoid arthritis, sarcopenic obesity, sexual dysfunction, shingles, type 2 diabetes, urologic changes (including incontinence), vaginal atrophy, whitening or graying of hair, wrinkling/sagging skin (including loss of skin elasticity), and xerosis cutis (skin dryness). Aged non-human subjects experience similar, homologous, and/or equivalent aging-related disorders.

Without wishing to be bound by theory, disulfiram and the one or more additional ingredients mitigates dysfunction of or rejuvenates a signaling pathway disrupted by aging where the dysfunction can ultimately lead to aging-related disorders.

3. Inhibiting Pyroptosis

In any of the herein-disclosed aspects and embodiments, use of disulfiram as active agent and TBHQ as potentiating ingredient, with or without one or more additional ingredients, e.g., of Table 1, inhibits pyroptosis of a cell.

Pyroptosis is a highly inflammatory form of programmed cell death that occurs most frequently upon infection with intracellular pathogens and is likely to form part of the antimicrobial innate immune response. Pyroptosis results in a distinct morphology by a unique mechanism compared to those of other forms of cell death. For example, unlike apoptosis-type programmed cell death, in a cell that undergoes pyroptosis, gasdermin D pores are formed on the plasma membrane, resulting in water influx and cell lysis, and in some cases, release of IL-1β, IL-18 and HMGB1.

The potentiating ingredient TBHQ enhances disulfiram's ability to inhibit pyroptosis, as shown in Example 3.

Example 1: Identification of Combinations of Disulfiram and Potentiating Ingredients Useful in Methods of the Present Disclosure

In this example, disulfiram and potentiating ingredients capable of increasing lifespan in a mammal, of preventing or treating a disease including an aging-related disorder in a mammal, of reducing a symptom of aging in a mammal, and/or of boosting an immune system were identified.

Sets of cultured cells—fibroblasts, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs including lymphocytes and monocytes, and/or myoblasts—having either characteristics of young cells or characteristics of old cells were contacted with a combination of disulfiram and one or more potentiating ingredients from Table 1. The ability of disulfiram and one or more potentiating ingredients to reverse aging in the cells, e.g., reducing the characteristics of old cells and promoting characteristics of a young cells was assayed (also known as reducing the predicted age of the cells). Disulfiram and one or more potentiating ingredients were used at various concentrations ranging from 0.000005 to 80 μM. In some cases, the concentration of disulfiram was as high as 80 μM and the concentration of the potentiating ingredient was as high as 25 μM. Combinations of disulfiram and one or more potentiating ingredients showing the ability to reverse aging were further validated.

Assays and formulations used in this example are related to those described in US20190228840, the entire contents of which is incorporated by reference its entirety.

In this experiment, TBHQ was identified as a potentiating ingredient.

Example 2: Phenotypic Effect of Disulfiram on Immune Cells

In this example, disulfiram was shown to modify quantifiable parameters in virally infected cells from older donors that reflects those observed in cells from younger donor.

Whole blood from younger and older donors was collected into EDTA tubes and then diluted with an equal volume of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS)+2% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and layered over Ficoll using SepMate™-50 tubes (STEMCELL Technologies Inc., Vancouver, Canada). Cells were centrifuged at 1200 g for 10 min at room temperature, and the top plasma layer was removed. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were collected, washed with PBS+2% FBS, and counted using acridine orange/propidium iodide using a Cellometer® Vision CBA (Nexcelom Bioscience, Lawrence, Mass., USA). PBMCs were cryopreserved in CryoStor® CS10 (BioLife Solutions, Bothell, Wash., USA), frozen using CoolCell® FTS30 freezing containers (BioCision, San Rafael, Calif., USA), and stored in the liquid nitrogen vapor phase until use.

Specific cell types were isolated from the PBMC fraction using the following kits (STEMCELL Technologies Inc.) per manufacturer's recommendations: EasySep™ Human T Cell Enrichment Kit (T cells); EasySep™ Human B Cell Enrichment Kit (B cells); EasySep™ Human NK Cell Enrichment Kit (NK cells); and EasySep™ Human Monocyte Enrichment Kit (monocytes). T cells (CD3+), B cells (CD19+), natural killer (NK) cells (CD59+), and monocytes (CD14+) were isolated based on their customarily defined gene expression markers. Isolated cells were counted using acridine orange/propidium iodide on a Cellometer Vision CBA and then cryopreserved as described above until use.

After cells undertook a 30-min adhesion onto a 384-well assay plate, 10 μL of 5× trigger medium (including vesicular stomatitis virus encoding a red fluorescent protein (rVSV-ΔG-mCherry), DMSO, test compound, and FBS) was added to the assay plate using a 384-well pipetting head to achieve a final concentration of rVSV-ΔG-mCherry at 10×MOI, 0.1% DMSO, 10% FBS, and 0.33 μM or 5.3 μM compound concentration. The assay plate was centrifuged for 1 min at 138×g and incubated for 24 h at 37° C. with 5% humidity.

rVSV-ΔG-mCherry infected monocytes and macrophages, which subsequently created a highly inflamed environment for the lymphocytes and other cells. rVSV-ΔG-mCherry was used because of its ability to model the innate immune activation pathways of prevalent respiratory RNA viruses and because it was safe to use in a high-throughput laboratory with biosafety level one.

Virally infected cells were contacted with different concentrations of disulfiram (e.g., 0.00 μM, 0.02 μM, 0.10 μM, 0.33 μM, 1.65 μM, 6.25 μM, and 25.02 μM).

Cytokine levels in the cellular supernatant were evaluated using the FirePlex-HT assay system with the Human Cytokines FirePlex-HT Panel 1 (ab234897; Abcam). Morphological/cellular phenotypes were assayed.

Disulfiram demonstrated notable effects on cellular phenotypes in older immune cells that were suggestive of a rejuvenation of the response to infection.

Disulfiram significantly reduced several proinflammatory cytokines when compared with old untreated controls. MCP1, IL-1β, IL-6, and TNFα all significantly decreased in at least 2 doses (FIG. 1A). Again, the reduction in MCP1 followed a downward dose response (0.02 μM [P=0.35]; 0.1 [P=0.04]; 0.33 μM [P<0.001]; 1.65 μM [P<0.001]; 6.25 μM [P<0.001]; 25.02 μM [P<0.001]; FIG. 1A). IL-1β was significantly reduced after the second lowest dose, then stayed significantly low for all higher doses (0.02 μM [P=0.28]; 0.1 μM [P=0.005]; 0.33 μM [P=0.001]; 1.65 μM [P=0.004]; 6.25 μM [P=0.004]; 25.02 μM [P<0.001]; FIG. 1A). These anti-inflammatory effects caused disulfiram showing its potential to improve older viral immune responses to infection.

Disulfiram improved the appearance of virally infected cells. Untreated and treated PBMCs were exposed to 10×MOI rVSV, yet, at several doses, disulfiram made the cells appear like they were responding to a lower viral load. Compared with old controls, which appeared to be responding to 10×MOI rVSV, the higher doses of disulfiram made the cells appear to be responding to a lower viral load (0.02 μM [P=0.63]; 0.1 μM [P=0.01]; 0.33 μM [P=0.43]; 1.65 μM [P=0.05]; 6.25 μM [P<0.001]; 25.02 μM [P<0.001]). The higher doses of disulfiram also significantly reduced the percentage of the mitochondria with a reticular shape (0.02 μM [P=0.04]; 0.1 μM [P=0.42]; 0.33 μM [P<0.001]; 1.65 [P<0.001]; 6.25 μM [P<0.001]; 25.02 μM [P<0.001]; FIG. 1B). Both of these effects restore important phenotypes of the older viral immune response.

T cells treated with disulfiram also exhibited a much younger phenotype compared with old untreated controls. The first two doses of disulfiram saw a significant rejuvenating effect on the T-cell age scores in the multi-phenotype aging profiles (0.02 μM [P<0.001]; 0.1 μM [P=0.005]; FIG. 1C). The higher doses of disulfiram also saw significant, beneficial reductions in the T-cell age score (0.33 [P<0.001]; 1.65 μM [P<0.001]; 6.25 μM [P<0.001]; 25.02 μM [P<0.001]; FIG. 1C).

Similar trends were seen with the “on-age” and “off-age” scores. Compared with controls, the “on-age” T-cell score significantly shifted in the young direction after treatment with disulfiram (0.02 [P=0.003]; 0.1 μM [P=0.11]; 0.33 μM [P<0.001]; 1.65 μM [P<0.001]; 6.25 μM [P<0.001]; 25.02 μM [P<0.001]; FIG. 1D). The “off-age” score also had a significant effect but only in the higher doses (0.02 μM [P=0.26]; 0.1 μM [P=0.44]; 0.33 μM [P<0.001]; 1.65 μM [P=0.008]; 6.25 μM [P=0.003]; 25.02 μM [P=0.01]; FIG. 1D). All these beneficial shifts in age-related phenotypes show the strong beneficial potential of disulfiram for treating dysfunction in the older viral immune response.

Machine learning model predictions of the immune response resulting from different viral loads (at 0.1×, 1×, and 10×MOI) were notably different with disulfiram treatment compared with untreated control cells. At higher disulfiram concentrations, the model indicated that monocytes responded at a lower MOI than did untreated control cells.

Together, disulfiram restored multiple aspects of the viral immune response of older adults to a younger state demonstrating its usefulness in therapeutic methods of the present disclosure.

Disulfiram also appeared to operate via several anti-inflammatory mechanisms, including an ability to inhibit NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated pyroptotic cell death. The inflammasome-blocking mechanisms of disulfiram ultimately inhibits pyroptosis by stopping formation of pores in the cell membrane that lead to cell lysis and release of proinflammatory molecules such as IL-1β and IL-18. The data presented herein show that disulfiram restores aspects of the old viral immune response.

These data demonstrated significant anti-inflammatory and rejuvenating effects by disulfiram. Disulfiram reduced the proinflammatory cytokines MCP1, IL-1β, IL-6, and TNFα while also rejuvenating several other features in aging profile such as T-cell age score, viral load response, and mitochondrial function. These immunomodulatory mechanisms could be related to the ability of disulfiram to block the final step in inflammasome-mediated pyroptosis and cytokine release. Disulfiram may also operate by ultimately reducing pore formation on the cell membrane of neutrophils, which would allow for the release of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), a process known as NETosis. Both of these mechanisms make disulfiram an attractive treatment for hyperinflammatory infections such as COVID-19 and sepsis. Disulfiram has already been shown to protect mice from lethal lipopolysaccharide-induced septic shock. By targeting any of these mechanisms, disulfiram may be a useful agent for treating infection, e.g., caused by a virus such as SARS-CoV2.

Sera from patients with severe COVID-19 demonstrated increased NETs and an autopsy of a lung specimen from a patient with COVID-19 showed extensive neutrophil infiltration. Proinflammatory cytokines in patients with severe COVID-19 were significantly higher than in moderate cases. This includes elevated levels of IL-1β that result from inflammasome activation. Given the relationship between NETosis, the inflammasome, and COVID-19 pathology, the ability of disulfiram to target these pathways, treatments with disulfiram could provide substantial clinical benefit.

In addition to improving host response, disulfiram may have antiviral effects on SARS-CoV2. Disulfiram has been shown to inhibit papain-like proteases of deadly coronaviruses such as Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) and SARS-CoV1, which may disrupt the replication and IFN suppression mechanisms of these viruses. This experiment is performed by contacting the virus-infected cells with different concentrations of disulfiram in combination of TBHQ. Cell parameters such as cytokine levels and morphological/cellular phenotypes are assayed to demonstrate potential to improve old immune response to infection.

Example 3: Synergistic Effect of Disulfiram and TBHQ

A luciferase assay was performed as described briefly: 125 k THP1 pyroptosis reporter cells/ml final density were plated on 384 well plates and incubated with disulfiram, TBHQ, or disulfiram and TBHQ for 20 minutes. 1 μg/ml LPS was added to the wells, and the plate was incubated for 3 hours, followed by addition of 10 μM nigericin. After three hours, supernatants were harvested and the presence of HMGB1 luciferase reporter protein was quantified using QUANTI-Luc.

FIG. 2 shows the effect on pyroptosis of the combination of disulfiram and TBHQ as compared to each individual compound. FIG. 3 shows the potentiating effects of varying constant concentrations of TBHQ added to disulfiram titration curves.

Inhibition of pyroptosis was assessed by inducing inflammasome activation in THP1 HMGB1 Lucia cells (Invivogen). These cells code for a luciferase reporter protein (HMGB1) that is released from cells during pyroptosis. HMGB1 levels in the supernatant can therefore be used to quantify pyroptosis.

Concentration matrices of disulfiram titration curves mixed with titration curves of TBHQ were tested. Disulfiram curves at each concentration of TBHQ were plotted and fit using a log(agonist) vs. response variable slope (four parameters) least squares fit model. The diagonal of each matrix was representative of a dose response curve of disulfiram plus TBHQ combinations titrated at a constant ratio.

Synergy Assessment of Disulfiram Combinations

Synergy fold ratio was measured by calculating the ratio of actual effect over expected effect: [(TBHQ+disulfiram)/no treatment]/[(disulfiram alone/no treatment)×(TBHQ alone/no treatment)] at each concentration combination. Values greater than 1 were considered synergistic.

Synergy using the Loewe additivity model was calculated using synergyfinder package on R (software environment for statistical computing and graphics; see the World Wide Web (at)/bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/vignettes/synergyfinder/inst/doc/synergyfinder.pdf, the contents of which is incorporated by reference in its entirety). The Loewe additivity model assumes the null hypothesis that a combination of drugs is the same as increasing the concentration of either drug alone (i.e. the effect is simply additive rather than the drugs interacting to produce a greater effect).

y_(e) is the effect as if a drug is combined with itself, i.e., y^(e)=y₁(x₁+x₂)=y₂(x₁+x₂).

Using R, the synergy score is calculated using ye, and determined to be the difference between the observed effect and the expected effect. Score negativity or positivity determines whether the combination is synergistic or antagonist, respectively. Loewe S. (1953), The problem of synergism and antagonism of combined drugs. Arzneimittelforschung 3, 285-290; Loewe, S. (1928). Die quantitativen probleme der pharmakologie. Ergebnisse Physiol. 27, 47-187, the contents of which is incorporated by referenced in its entirety.

FIG. 4A to FIG. 4C show the synergistic effect of the combination of disulfiram and TBHQ mediated inhibition of pyroptosis.

IC50 Calculations

IC50s were calculated using the log(agonist) vs. response variable slope (four parameters) least squares fit model from the GraphPad Prism software package.

The percent difference between disulfiram alone and each disulfiram+TBHQ curve was calculated, and two replicates for each condition were averaged. Statistical significance was determined using a standard Student's t-test (unpaired, 2-tailed).

Individual curves for disulfiram alone, TBHQ alone, and the combination of the two were plotted as log of the relative concentrations of each. In these experiments, disulfiram and TBHQ were titrated equally with different starting concentrations of disulfiram and TBHQ and so the relative ratio of disulfiram: TBHQ was maintained across the entire curve. The concentrations were normalized so that 1 is set as the median for each curve, and the curves are plotted as 1.5× dilution series.

Curves of disulfiram+constant concentrations of TBHQ were plotted using the log of disulfiram concentration.

FIG. 5 is a table showing the percent leftward shift in IC50 mediated by TBHQ relative to disulfiram alone in a dose-dependent matter, while TBHQ alone has no effect on pyroptosis inhibition or IC50. Accordingly, these data show synergistic effects on pyroptotic inhibition when cells are subjected to a combination of disulfiram and TBHQ.

The dose of disulfiram is from about 5 mg to about 500 mg. The dose of the TBHQ is from about 0.001 mg to about 280 mg.

The compositions may be administered topically, with a dose depending on the quantity of composition needing to be administered. The compositions may be formulated as a gel, lotion, ointment, cream, suspension, paste, liniment, powder, tincture, or aerosol or administered via an impregnated solid support (e.g., a patch)). Alternately, the composition may be administered by injection or by inhalation. The composition(s) may be administered orally. Combinations of administration routes may be used.

The composition's or compositions' ability to treat alopecia, is determined and compared to the mammal before administration and/or to historical controls who were not administered the composition or compositions.

Example 10: Methods for Treating a Skin Cancer

In this example, a composition comprising disulfiram and TBHQ, or distinct compositions of a first composition comprising disulfiram and a second composition comprising TBHQ are administered to a mammal, e.g., a human, for treating a skin cancer, e.g., (e.g., basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC)).

The dose of disulfiram is from about 5 mg to about 500 mg. The dose of the TBHQ is from about 0.001 mg to about 280 mg.

The compositions may be administered topically, with a dose depending on the quantity of composition needing to be administered. The compositions may be formulated as a gel, lotion, ointment, cream, suspension, paste, liniment, powder, tincture, or aerosol or administered via an impregnated solid support (e.g., a patch)). Alternately, the composition may be administered by injection or by inhalation. The composition(s) may be administered orally. Combinations of administration routes may be used.

The composition's or compositions' ability to treat the skin cancer, e.g., BCC and SCC, is determined and compared to the mammal before administration and/or to historical controls who were not administered the composition or compositions.

Example 11: Methods that Comprise Administering a First Composition and a Second Composition

In this example, a first composition comprises a therapeutically effective amount of disulfiram and a second composition comprising TBHQ are administered to a mammal for increasing lifespan, for preventing or treating a disease including an aging-related disorder, for reducing a symptom of aging, and/or boosting an immune system.

The dose of disulfiram is from about 5 mg to about 500 mg. The dose of the TBHQ is from about 0.001 mg to about 280 mg.

The first composition is administered orally, by inhalation, injection, or topically. The second composition is administered orally, by inhalation, injection, or topically. The administration route of the first composition and the second composition may be the same or may be different.

The first composition may be administered before the second composition is administered.

The first composition may be administered after the second composition is administered.

The first composition and the second composition may be administered contemporaneously (either by combining the two compositions or by administering the two compositions at nearly the same time).

The mammal's lifespan is measured and the presence, absence, and/or severity of various aging-related disorders are determined; these are compared to control mammals and/or to historical controls to determine the effectiveness of the first composition administered.
